- GOLF'S ULTIMATE DRIVER CRASH COURSE! Welcome to Golf's "DRIVER'S ED" - you will become a master of the driver in your golf swing with this full online golf driver clinic from Tom Saguto. This clinic includes the Golf Swing Driver Setup, Driver Slicing and Driver Hooking fixes, as well as the proper Driver Golf Swing.
Learn all of the keys to being a successful, powerful and accurate, driver of the golf ball. This four-part clinic will teach you the following things:
1. Driver Setup - pre-shot fundamentals of successful driving.
2. Driver Swing - how you should approach swinging the driver. I think you'll find that the swing is very much THE SAME as with any other club. BUT, keep these checkpoints in mind. Because the driver is a much longer club, what you're FEELing versus what is REAL are two totally different things!
3. Fixes for Common Driver Problems and Pitfalls - stop slicing and hooking and get rid of those low shots!
4. BONUS, Tom will be having a launch monitor session with feedback on his launch monitor numbers and how you can improve your driving with launch monitor feedback.

I am Tom Saguto, PGA Member and founder of SagutoGolf. Thank you for visiting my instructional page where you can find how to get on the fast track to improving your golfing abilities. Whether you are a seasoned golfing veteran looking for a quick swing tune-up after an on-course emergency, or a beginner just looking to get the most out of your golfing experience, I am here to help you achieve your golfing goals.
My mission as your swing doctor is simple, to help you maximize your enjoyment in game of golf. Because, let’s face it, golf is a hard game.
My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing.

Love these golf tips.
Hi Tom, please make another webinar for us Europeans. At 1.30am it´s hard to follow :-) And if you are wondering how far your channel reaches: I am from Austria, and no, we don´t have Kangaroos.
Hey Tommy, Great stuff. We have changed to daylight time or maybe you don’t spring forward in South Carolina.
for amateur, what loft you would recommend for a driver? 10.5 higher or lower?
SagutoGolf e
Why isn’t saguto golf bigger than every other golf channel on CZcams? Great stuff.
Not sure, @Happy, but I do appreciate your kind words and support. Shout it from the rooftops!! 😎
TS
Most likable goober on CZcams.
And Goober was so underrated and under appreciated.
Thank you for three of the best tips I ever got from a CZcams instructor: move the ball to the middle of my stance, bump my hips toward the target during the backswing, and swing with the shoulders rather than swing with the arms. I got all of those ideas from you and when I make sure my right elbow goes toward my liver, I'm good. Your free, CZcams instruction is better than what I got at Martin Chuck's $2000 camp and from local instructors who charged me $100/hour. You got the mojo, bro.
Wonder if he offers lessons.
The ball should never be in the middle of your stance when driving off the tee
@@LostHisSoninIraq he does, you just record some of your swings and send them to him. He will analyze it and tell you you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it I believe. I'm thinking of doing lessons in a few weeks when the outdoor ranges open up in my city.
@@artybone6946 I will. Thank you for the reply.
Agreed that Martin Chuck online course was kind of terrible.
Saguto, you are the best golf CZcamsr that I have ever seen. You are funny, highly intelligent and you speak in plain English and you use examples that anyone can understand. Keep up the outstanding, funny and much needed work.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction content and enjoying my teaching style!!
Thanks again for your support and have fun out there!!
Tom
Today I hit 9/12 fairways, 9/18 greens, 4 more were within 5 yards of the green. Shot an 81! Started watching Tom Saguto less than 2 months ago! Been a high 80s low 90s guy all my life. Golf is really fun right now!!
25 years classroom teacher, not golf, but I can say you are a natural teacher.
Thanks DD Nick - I truly appreciate that!!
Tom
I use to teach and the best way was to put out the questions, all sit around the teacher and debate how to get to the answer. Once everyone agrees to the right solution and how to get to the right answer. Then we all have won.
This is the best driver video on the internet. No exaggeration. On top of it being super informative it's hilarious. Great job, Tom and thanks for the help.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm very glad to know that this driver lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into play!

My favorite CZcamsr. Tom has perfected the instructional video. Personal, funny as hell, skilled, unconventional, and he's speaking to normal golfers. So many videos are for young athletic players and people of already high skill. This channel is what REAL golf needs.
No doubt man. Tom's approach has transformed my swing. I am a believer.
I agree gtd..love your channel too.
if u inherently athletic then you can get more out of this swing. Even then more athletic people can add way more power with a simple swing. Most great batters and golfers have simple swings like this. what makes it special is their athleticism
I about died laughing when he said “and then hit it with the wrath of god”. Then he smoked the building. 😂
You know, I have seen Tom's vids come up in my feed or whatever YT calls it. I finally clicked on one, now have been binging LOL. He should do standup while still teaching us this swing!
Me too‼️🤣😂❤
Me 2‼️🤣😂
5:30 am here in Arizona, drinking coffee, watching this lesson. Coffee out the nose at the 11:00 min mark. Keep up the good work!
LOL! Sorry about the mess, Shane......😆
Glad you're enjoying the content!
Played today and put this into action … first round in a long time where every drive was straight and down the middle!
*OUTSTANDING,* Weston!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for sharing your dramatic driving improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

I've been out of golf for about a year due to a torn rotater cuff and a back injury, not related to golf. Getting started back at 60 over injuries if very hard and depressing by yourself. Saguto videos have always motivated me very quickly., such as this awesome video. I've taken the Saguto online class. It's the best. After a year, it took me only 7 holes to start crushing my drives again doing exactly what I learned in the Saguto online school. I truly have enjoyed all of his videos while applying them. The best and most detailed golf school.
That's awesome!! 💪💪
I'm thrilled to learn of your rekindled love for this greatest of games, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding the online school and this body-friendly, consistent, powerful swing system for all ages!!
Thanks so much for your support and keep up the fantastic work!!
Tom
Learning the proper way to keep the proper weight on the lead side during the entire swing has given me much, much more consistency and distance. The set you taught in the course is a game changer. Swinging every club the same way, except the driver, I use the tilt away from the target has resulted in many crispy drives, in which I had the same amount of weight on the lead foot then to. I watch one of your online videos the night before I go play every time and it's is coming together surprisingly well. Thank you. I love it!
I am 85 yrs old with a 25 handicap. My driving distance has improved by 20to 30 yards. I measured the distance yesterday at 204yds - unbelievable for me. My 3 wood was 174yds, again unbelievable. You have a wacky presentation method but it certainly works. I'm just about to sign up for your chipping and pitching course. Thank you so much for your help in improving my game enormously. My golfing buddies can't believe it.
That is FABULOUS, Joe!! Thanks so much for sharing, and keep up the great work!!
I'll bet your scores haven't improved.
"Ball position is anchored by your left foot"...Huge aha moment for me, thanks!
My pleasure! I'm glad that little ball position tip help you, Rene!!
Tom
The golden tips here are at 14:30, IMO.
Saguto, simply the best.
Tom, I have struggled with my driver. Thanks to you my iron shots are working well. This makes sense and I will try it. Thank you.
Hi John Antony,
I'm very glad to learn of your iron play improvement - nice job!!
It is essentially the same swing with every club; just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. To demonstrate, you'll find towards the end of this episode some practice range footage of me hitting a 7 iron, 3 wood, and driver: czcams.com/video/o0xscMyN3v8/video.html Beyond that, if you search the word "drive" on this channel you'll see some related content.
Oftentimes when golfers are hitting everything well except for the driver it can be attributed to one of the following:
1) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the driver as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, inhibiting any further necessary forward weight loading (we should be 80/20 forward halfway down, 90/10 at impact, and 95/5 in the finish), changing the low point and rerouting the club into a steeper angle of attack (AoA). This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices.
Of great importance is keeping your upper torso/head in place (in other words, not moving towards the target from a face-on view) while the hips execute the lateral slide action. This preserves the swing center and the desired shallow AoA.
2) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft of the driver is considerably longer than the other clubs and thus requires more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as they take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as they maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around them, it should put them in the proper position at the top so they can attack the ball from the inside. (A good feel for that lead shoulder is "down and in, under the chin".)
3) Many believe - and some even teach - that we must try to "hit up on the ball" with the driver. However, consider that in our stock setup with the driver the hands are even with the inside of the lead thigh (as they are with all clubs when playing a standard shot) and our ball position is even with the inside of the heel of the lead foot. This presets a very slight degree of forward shaft lean with the driver. Beyond that, the ball is behind the zero-point of the swing (which is even with the lead shoulder), meaning that without any contrived manipulations the club will still be on its descent - albeit very close to flat - at impact. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants teeing it extra high and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - in general the path is still ever so slightly down. In fact, the PGA Tour average with the driver is actually minus (e.g.: downward) 1.5 degrees - nearly level - and it should feel level - but slightly down nonetheless. (Here is an article on Ping’s website addressing this topic - ping.com/en-us/blogs/proving-grounds/optimal-launch-and-spin#:~:text=According%20to%20Trackman%2C%20PGA%20Tour,85%25%20ball%2Dflight%20laws )

Keep up the great work!

I’ve been watching Golf videos for years...
Training myself,
Taking tips and advice,
Working hard mentally and physically on my game.
Saguto golf is God sent for me.
I’ve shared these videos with my two sons
Who both love golf 🏌️
Solute to you Tom!
Thank you Ralph!
Tom, I'm loving the simple concepts you share and the entertaining lighthearted way you go about it. 5,000 volts indeed!
I love Tom's humor in golf. It definitely makes the swing tips more interesting to follow.
ToM, great instructional video, your the best.
Thank you, Bill! I'm very glad to know that this driver lesson from my channel's archives resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice!

Tom
Your instruction has positively changed my game ! Most instructors on uTube make golf complex and basically confuse everyone. Thank you Tom
I'm very glad to learn of your improvement, Nickolas!!
Unfortunately, such sorcery from this dark underworld of golf instruction rarely finds its way to the mainstream because if too many folks found out about it the mainstream would then be rendered irrelevant. 😎
The way I see it, we can either simply put the already existing natural laws to work for us, or we can twist, morph, torque, contrive, and otherwise mess with the principles of physics and geometry in an effort to better suit some ill-conceived whims, all the while recognizing that at the point of impact those pre-existing laws are going to be the only things that matter to the ball.
Thanks for your kind words and keep up the great work!!
Tom
When I start feeling my swing changing I always refer back to your videos to get my swing back.
I appreciate knowing that, and I'm very glad to learn that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!

Best driver tutorial ever❤❤❤ just goes to show swinging harder doesn't really add much of anything, maybe 10-15 yards. Which won't matter with 2nd shot because all you need to do at that point is go up or down an iron on 2nd shot. Like if the hole is 390 yards and I hit it 270 plus some roll to say 290, all I have to do is select my iron that I consistently hit 90-100 yards to the green. ❤❤❤
Thanks - I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated so well with you!!
When we try to swing harder with the upper body, arms, or hands, we generally lose clubhead speed and accuracy because we disrupt our sequencing. Here's a resent lesson on that topic: czcams.com/video/VtufwVMChHg/video.html

Tom, I watched and rewatch your video on "the swing' with a driver. Although I am still learning, I hit a 240 drive on Tuesday....and then 200+ drives throughout the 18 holes....it really, really, really works! My golf buddies were stunned....I am 70 and you are right! Hit the ball "To the Moon and Back"!!!!

the best golf swing instructor… been watching him since 2020
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, @Reyes Smith, and I am very glad to know that the instruction on my channel has benefited your game!!
Thanks for your support!!
Tom
I am thrilled to have found you on utube. I’ve had hundreds of lessons from various pros with marginal improvement. But I have made a giant step forward following your posts. On the practice range I am putting a sliced in half tennis ball under the left foot to keep reminding me to put the weight on that foot. Magic! Thanks so much
LOL, Thanks Tom, a very informative and Fun Time at Driver's ED, I really needed this!
Ok tom, ive struggled with inconsistency long enough. Im doing your stuff. 7-22-23 im a 24 handycap. Ill practice every day least 10 swings. You is a unique cat, coming from a unique cat, ill listen to your truth
Welcome to "the dark side", Ben, where the spoils of "conventional" instruction - chronic inconsistency, physical pain, and endless frustration - yield to the fruits of body-friendly enjoyment of this great game for a lifetime. 😎
I'm very glad to have you on board!!

Embrace the system, embrace the challenge, and you will ultimately embrace ownership of a well-functioning swing and the resulting ball striking bliss it provides!!
-"Tomcat"
This video brought my game back. I watched a video where the set up was very different. They wanted you to drop the club to your left leg. The tip was to drop below your knee. If it dropped higher up you were too far. Below your knee. Too low to far. What this does not take into account is body type. Short or long legs. Long torso or short. Arm length. I was too far from the ball in set up. Your setup is much simpler and can apply to all body types. I went to the range and followed your tips and my swing is back. Awesome
Fantastic!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play. Thanks so much for sharing your success with it and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

Thank you TS. I’m 74 and you have helped me hit it consistently flush!
Hi Tom - love your videos no technical terms just plain simple advice.I`m 75 now and just wish someone like you had been around 50years ago teaching like this.Keep up the great work.
Thanks for helping me with my golf. I am addicted to golf again after using your method. Smooth and easy.
It's my pleasure to feed your addiction, Vaughan! 😆
Thanks for your kind words and support, and keep up the great work!!

I’m in the UK and I’ve just stumbled across your channel. I love your enthusiasm and teaching style! You get the key points across whilst keeping it fun and easy to pick. Thank you and keep up the good work !!!’
Thanks Russ - I appreciate that!!
Good job Tom. The most important thing I got out of this for me was it made me aware that I was dropping my
left side down on the back swing to get my left shoulder down. I am sure I did not do that in my younger days. I enjoyed your presentation, keep up the good work you make the game fun again.
Great tips. Downswing gets into the "K". The killzone. or the calzone. Who doesn't love a calzone! Thanks Tom.
Yes - I love a calzone after 18 holes of putting the club in the kill zone!! 😆

Hi Saguto Golfers! I've been out of golf action for a few months due to a work-related back injury. Have to confess that I'm not the best of patients, so I've deliberately stayed away from golf whilst nursing my injury. Anyway, finally got back into it 2 weeks ago and did OK. Having rediscovered my golf mojo, I've now reacquainted myself with the Sir Thomas Saguto golf school here on CZcams. A few refresher videos later, I'm once again stacking over the ball - 55% loaded on the front foot, rotating my body around the ball, dropping the left shoulder under my chin and twatting the ball with "the wrath of god". Slowly but surely im seeing my scores getting lower and my confidence levels rise as my consistency levels push up higher on the Saguto KFC crispy scale. Keep on producing the uber-ace video's Tom, you're a breath of fresh air in an otherwise largely stale world of golf CZcamsr's👌👌👌
One of the best driver lessons I’ve ever seen!!! I’ve always been hesitant to load the front leg. Always thought I had to have weight on back foot. Thanks Saguto!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Keith!!
Sadly, many misconstrued and/or misguided teachings of "conventional" instruction - such as turning the shoulders level while independently lifting the club, shifting into and torquing against a firm trail side, actively rolling the hands through impact, etc. - have relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well). We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness!
TS
@@SagutoGolf FYI - I gained 35 yards on my drive!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awesome!!!!
Just a regular hacker here that's taken many lessons over the last twenty-something years that loves the game but struggles with inconsistency-no longer. I purchased the online course and the money was well spent!!! Saguta explains it in detail with specific drills to develop a consistent swing. The results are lower scores and I'm no longer overthinking over the ball. The improvement is an instance so I no longer feel lost even during those lapses of concentration we all are prone to on the course. FYI, I don't get paid for this advertisement. Thank you Saguto!!
Thank you for your kind words and your (unpaid 😆) testimonial for the online school, Alex!! I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from the instruction and enjoying this great game more as a result; that is ultimately what this is all about.
I did my best to price the school at a "no-brainer" level given the quality and effectiveness of the delivered product, and I sincerely appreciate you recognizing that and taking the time to "shout it from the rooftop"!!
Thanks again, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!

@@SagutoGolf It's easy to promote a quality product that I've gained the benefits of in such a short time. I'm working slowly to absorb all the fundamentals and absolve myself from the myriad of past habits. Once I've completed it to my "Swing DNA," then I'll reach out to you for the next step. Thanks again for all the quality content and for keeping it simple.
My pleasure, Alex, and thank YOU again for your support!!

Once again Tom, you are spot on. I am working on it and it's getting there. Your lessons are fun!
Tom - I like your simple and down to earth approach in teaching, which is really good and fitting for most weekend golfers like me.
Still in awe of how good these videos are. As I mentioned on another one of your posts, I'm just starting golf again after a 30 year absence, and the game has changed a lot since I last swung a club. Your videos have been invaluable in getting me back up to speed. I've still got a long way to go, but I'm getting there with content like this! I'm looking into getting a subscription to your web site, too.
Thanks again for your comments and support, and I hope to see you soon in the online school!!
Tom
Hey Tom thanks for putting all these swing videos on youtube. I found your channel last weekend and ive been practicing everyday to adjust to the stack and tilt method and its working wonders.
Literally every club is 15 to 30 yards further and now my driver went from 225-250 to 260-300 meaning more fun!
That's fabulous, and it's definitely about having more fun!!! Thanks for sharing!
Fastly becoming my goto channel. First because you're such a goofball, but now it's more because your instruction is spot on!!
I want to thank you you've help me go from a 10 handicap to 5.0. You make things so simple!
That's *AWESOME,* Margarito!! I am thrilled for your dramatic improvement, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and teaching style!!
Thanks for for your support in sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
Tom, you're a fantastic teacher. I've been practicing your methods for a month now. I'm making much better contact with all my clubs, and just crushing my irons. So much so, I'm unsure of my yardages now. However, I seem to be pulling shots now more than before. Hopefully I can work that kink out. Anyways, keep up the great tutorials.
I agree Josh, I was hitting behind the ball with my irons but today I broke 80 (I am 61 and don,t do that often) after following Toms advice to load up more on the left leg. Hit some cracking 4, 5 and 6 irons as Tom would say real crispy, great teacher. Wish I could drop by but from Sydney.
That was the quickest 38 minutes ever. I love your videos and personality. Thanks! New follower!
Now that setup tip near the beginning is superb. Only the right foot moves. Superb.
Thanks Danny - I'm glad that tip helped you!!
TS
I can't stress enough how Tom makes me excited about getting out to the range to practice. His simple breakdown makes me believe I can do it. And... it works. I'm hitting it so much better. There are still years of bad habits to work through so I have to take it slowly but I think I'm starting to remake my ineffective, inconsistent swing. Many thanks.
Thanks again for your kind words, Whitney!
What I teach is a complete golf swing system, not a series of tips, band-aids, and fixes for field dressing swing wounds. As such, the transformation takes time as we work to gradually eradicate those stubborn ghosts of swings past. It's a very worthwhile process, though, as it ultimately leads us to the land of consistent ball striking bliss. That is also why the sequential, comprehensive, structured learning platform of the school is far superior to trying to haphazardly piece things together through a series of YT videos.
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Tom, your videos and instruction are Awesome! Much thanks for all the great advice. Driving is my weakest part of my game, so this video was right on for me. Thanks bud!!!
I appreciate that, Ian, and I'm glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content!
If you type the word "drive" into my channel's search bad you should find some more related lessons.

Thanks been playing some of my best golf and I will soon be 76 years old thanks again
That's awesome, Howard - thanks very much for sharing your improvement!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
Can`t wait to try this. My iron game has improved so much thanks to you, so now time to master the Driver :)
Exactly my experience using this swing, just have to trust it more with 3 wood and driver.
Your demonstration of ball position has my mind blown🤯
Thank you Tom for your response in regard to keeping your head still. Your teaching is EXCELLENT! My game has absolutely improved with your techniques.
My pleasure! And thanks so much for your kind words regarding my instruction; I'm thrilled for your improvement and I appreciate your sharing that.
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Your humor and sarcasm are a breath of fresh air. I'm very sarcastic and this is just a game after all, no matter what level you are at. Appreciate your impressive instruction and how you make it fun. Thanks
saguto golf, golfsidekick and Danny maude rule
Tom I like your approach to ball set up, I never thought of using the club between the heel and I hope to improved my ball hitting since it's seems more consistent. I'm 69 and getting back into golf after 5 years away, my swing is between 95 and 97 230 to 250 distance. Not only are you good you make it fun with the jokes and that I like. I am retired and watch your videos in the morning and it makes my day. Good Job
This dude’s a nut but he’s helped my game more than anyone else. Even more than in person lessons.
LOL!! Thanks Bill - I'm glad to know that my CZcams lesson videos are benefiting you!

Have you looked into it yet?

@@SagutoGolf The nuttiness is what drew me into the channel. I’ll check out the online school and maybe even pick up some merch. Thanks for what you do!
Tom dropping knowledge as usual. Thx for all the tips!
Been using all these tips on the range and on the course. It's so simple and easy, the last 4 rounds shot 75,77,78&76 all thanks to you has made the game more enjoyable now🙂
From the lady tee box?
@@AC-cj9zl Some people actually break 80 every day. Shocking, I know.
That looks my high school scores in 1980.
I’m currently enrolled in Tom’s online course. It has helped my game tremendously but my driving is still terrible.
I took this lesson to the driving range over the past few days. Not sure what 60% feels like on my lead leg but I stacked a lot of weight on it, took my backswing, and ripped it dead straight. Then I did it again, and again, and again.
As far as the push up from the lead leg during follow through, I felt that I had to initiate this as it didn’t seem to come as naturally as Tom suggests. Who cares? I was hitting the ball at least 250 and straight.
I have been following Tom for a few months now trying all of the free stuff I could get. I came across his video on keeping the left arm straight and putting your weight on the lead side and it transformed my swing. After watching YT videos for years and trying so many techniques I was still skeptical, but after about three months of practice, mainly with irons, there is no doubt - it is the real deal. Now it might not be for everyone, but for me it was THE game changer I was looking for. Time for me to commit and join up. I want it all now.
He didn’t stack as much towards the end. 330?? Amazing.
I am glad that the started watching Saguto channel, first I thought he is like 100s of others who want to keep talking and complicate things. I have been struggling with my swing this season, did not know what went wrong, then once watched his videos and instructions with in a week I can see the changes. He is good.. in fact very good.. explains it very simple and easy to understand.. thank you Tom..
Hey Tom. EXCELLENT! I have been using this since watching you and it is a “GAME CHANGER”. I do have one major concern. I don’t hear you talking about keeping your head still. When you are describing the swing and showing examples, your head is moving all over the place. When you take your real swing, your head is stable and ultimately getting the rocket launch you describe. Please clarify that with your followers! Do you agree? I look forward to your response. Again thank you for making a huge difference in my game. I am 70 and consistently hitting in the low 80s. Most of my issues now are just short came that will come with more practice and expect to be below 80.
I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!
I absolutely do talk about a stable head. Here is one of my videos on this topic: czcams.com/video/E5csidjztzg/video.html A little bit of head tilting is acceptable (think of Jack Nicklaus), but we don't want the head to move out of the "box" established at address, neither up/down or side-to-side. Any such movement shifts the swing center and low point, causing two primary issues: 1) We lose some of the power that comes from swing in a fixed-point circle, and 2) we have to make a precise compensatory move in the downswing or else our ability to achieve consistently pure impact is fleeting.
By the way, you may be interested to know that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. Have you looked into the comprehensive, sequential learning platform of the online school yet? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish. It will make for a far more efficient, superior, and enjoyable learning process rather than haphazardly trying to piece things together through these channel videos that jump around randomly from topic to topic. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. At just $14.99/month or $149.99 per year the value in terms of what you get for that price point is beyond comprehension, and based on proven results it represents by far the best golf instruction deal on the planet.
As for your short game challenges, here is a chipping lesson from last year that has helped a lot of folks to shave strokes from around the green: czcams.com/video/aatbA39KtRc/video.html
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
I had to come back and watch this haha. I am guilty of letting my brain tell me "it's time to go boom boom"
Ball position literally blew my mind. Lol. how has no one explained that so easy. I feel like I’m good at getting my feet lined up by now but wish I saw this 5 years ago
LoL- did I fire 5 shots or 6? Saguto takes online golf instruction to a new level!
The best instructor of Golf on youtube!
Thanks - I truly appreciate your kind words and support!!
Tom
Dude, you crack me up, we gotta have a beer sometime.
Love it. I want to hit the building one day!
That's my dream too.
Tom, this is not the second video of yours that I've watched...you are goofy as heck. But following your video on making consistent contact, I went to the range and hit nearly all of my clubs cleanly! I even hit a 3 wood off the grass, whjch in 22 years of playing golf I've never been able to do! It's odd how simple this change in philosophy created such a wild difference! Thanks so much!
That's awesome, Kevin!! Great job incorporating my instruction into your swing!!

Dear Tom,
thank you very much for your course from Spain. I'm so grateful. Now I feel have a consistent system for each club of my bag.
Best regards.
I appreciate your kind words, @Aitor Grandes, and I am very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction!!

Tom, tried this out over the weekend. i was hooking a bit, but flushed several drives 270 metres! I'm nearly 50! My mates weak slice was going 180 max. He wasn't happy...
That's what I like to hear! Feels good huh?! Keep at it, it only gets better when you smooth it out a bit and really pick out the small details in the videos.
yeah same, couple of drives out at 280 metres total, not sure on carry. but definitely an extra 30 metres and i wasn't stepping on it either
Young man, you have integrated all of the important factors for me. I will be forever grateful. Nice job!
I truly appreciate your kind words, Bob, and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You've obviously done an excellent job digesting my lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!

This guy is brilliant. ALL his classes are superb and fabulously simple. Tony Perrin
Tom - oh to be young again, I’m 70. Thank you for the driver instruction, I sure need it. It appears your back (right) leg does not straighten that much with the driver. I wish you had a down the line shot, so we could see the back swing from a different view. I started your swing (stack and tilt) a couple months ago. I could not believe the results at first. But last week, I got screwed up with the driver. I tried everything, but nothing worked.. got really bummed out. Today, I saw how you push off with your left leg and tuck your butt while extending. Will take this thought to the range tomorrow. Thanks again.
William...I too am 70...(live in Tanilba Bay NSW Australia) last Sat flushed my driver ~ flushed my 3 wood -once I remembered to turn my back towards the target...Par 5...pin high in 2...just right of the green...walk off with a lousy par...doh.
Oscar Bevz we need some short game tips including putting from tom
@@purpleteddybear6239 I subscribed to his paying program...$10/mth...worth every penny. Goes thru all his videos in sequence - plus many no public videos...titles etc...pic a spot and study it . Help is right across the board.
@@oscarbevz2053 does Tom answer questions?
@@Golf36 yes...but he has a separate email for that...gotta ask him for it. Go to the website...should be able todig it up there...prbably helps to be a paying subscriber too... :-)
Do you use an “active” hand release through the hitting area or do you use a “drive hold” type release? Tom could you answer this please? Thank you.
Dave Parsons way to make it weird guy
Hold off thru 2-3 ft after impact and then rehinge the wrists to release the club.
Thx Tom, the address instruction was very good, and such a simple thing to do and I don’t have to think where to stand. Just go to the same set up position every time, who knew.
I found holding your back to the target longer was a game changer.. It sets you up for maximum acceleration through impact in concert with firm left leg resistance keeping you behind shot and shoulders squared on impact !! rather than most turning ahead of shot and losing all power.
It's enabling you to keep your head in place and your swing center intact, Mark. As such it keeps the path appropriately shallowed and facilitates retaining your lag while simultaneously allowing you to harness the tremendous power of swinging on a tilted arc (known as "angular momentum").
Well done, and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

Thanks for giving us real specs. Most teachers are having us hit up, which I think traps me a little on the back foot. I just read that pros hit, on average, 1.3 degrees down.
You read correctly, Steven, and thus I do not advocate trying to hit up on the ball, as efforts to do so due to erroneous advice has caused many an amateur significant issues with their driver. Think of proper impact position - hands leading the clubface, bowed front wrist, weight 90% loaded into the lead leg. It'd be difficult to retain those angles if we were actually hitting up on it. So, perhaps with the exception of folks with slower swing speeds - or those Long Drive participants using extra high tees and hitting maybe 1-2 balls out of 10 onto a 60-yard wide "fairway" - the path should be ever so slightly down.
Cheers!
Tom
Tom, in previous videos you stressed letting your trail leg straighten at the top of your backswing but in this video I noticed that your trail leg stayed flexed? Is this because your using the driver instead of your irons or does it have something to do with pushing off more with your lead lag?
his trail leg is the same the whole time, It's the longer arc that is deceiving you.
Or possibly the stance being wider, due to longer club
The best instructional you tube content, really helped my game . Thank you Tom
